Fox & Weeks is privileged to serve the family and loved ones of Lucy Evelyn Webb Osborne Horton, 83, who passed away at the Azalealand Nursing Home in Savannah, GA on December 2, 2014 after a long illness. Born September 5, 1931, in Mayking, KY, to Ora and Critt Webb, she graduated with a degree in early education from Morehead State in 1951. She was married to the late Victor Osborne of Melvin, KY and they had one son. Lucy taught in Kentucky and Ohio before settling in Savannah as a second grade teacher at May Howard Elementary. She truly enjoyed teaching and always exhibited a personal interest in the success of her students in the classroom. She retired in 1987 from the Chatham County public school system. Lucy was blessed to find love again and married H.B. “Tom” Horton, Jr. of Savannah, GA in 1981. Family was most important to Lucy and she was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother providing love and encouragement in every way. Her other interests included travelling, fishing with Tom, and spending time with family, whatever the occasion. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Wilmington Island (Savannah, GA) and was part of the Friendship Sunday School Class.
